The underground city was more lively than Xu Lai imagined.
Not long after, Elvi flew over with several heads.
Although this group of mercenaries were not as fast as Seraph, they were all very slippery, and they separated directly at the fork in the road.
"Sir, my subordinates did not do their job well and let these guys run away." Elvi looked very ashamed. In the past, she always called him a knight regardless of business or private matters.
Xu Lai knew the characteristics of these seraphs, and they had to be directed by someone. Elvi obviously had no skills at all.
"It's not your fault, they're just some unknown people. Let's get out of here quickly."
As he said that, Xu Lai looked back at the underground passage. He remembered that there were many people following him.
After hesitating for a moment, Xu Lai found a green rock from the space backpack.
When fighting the black dragon, Xu Lai didn't even throw it out.
Including the ones he used to defend Su Ya and the others, there were only 99 of them in total, and Xu Lai kept them as the final reserve.
Xu Lai smashed the green rock hard on the ground, and a blazing hellfire fell from the sky.
“Let’s go!”
After leaving this hellfire behind, Xu Lai and others followed the map and walked deep underground.
After walking more than a hundred meters, Xu Lai directly cut off the connection with the hellfire.
This also means that Hellfire has become a wild monster without an owner.
There is no so-called alliance between the evil camp, and these three camps will attack each other.
Therefore, theoretically, this hellfire will actively attack all targets within the warning range except the hell camp.
Sure enough, Xu Lai and others hadn't left too far. Xu Lai's powerful hearing allowed him to vaguely hear the roar of hellfire.
Putting Hellfire on a normal map is already considered a big boss level monster.
Many mercenaries or explorers will only encounter this kind of terrifying thing once or twice in their lives.
Just the flames surrounding it can hurt people 4 or 5 meters away.
Fire flames are magic damage, and no matter how thick the armor is, they can't stop it. The key is that this thing is made of stone. It is neither afraid of pain nor afraid of death. Whoever encounters it will be shocked.
This is a guy who gives even the regular paladins of the temple a headache. Xu Lai estimates that his paladins may not be able to defeat this guy without his boost.
Of course, the Paladin with its invincibility and war horse cannot be defeated by this thing.
Hellfire is a level 7 puppet unit. It is not only affected by mental spells, but also has the ability to be immune to magic, which means it will not be controlled by the enemy.
The burning hell flames can cause damage to all close units. Coupled with the splashing smashing fist, it is almost immune to group attacks.
As a super-large unit, the additional strength, armor and health points of the Hellfire also make the Hellfire's melee combat ability higher than that of the same level.
Such a thing is still a puppet's life. There is no benefit in winning the battle. Only those who have lost their minds will risk their lives.
Xu Lai threw this thing at the entrance. No one should be able to pass within 180 minutes.
As for the people who come in, with their backs to the entrance and exit, it is not easy for Hellfire to kill them.
Unless these guys insist on fighting Hellfire.
If this is the case, it means that these people have malicious intentions towards Xu Lai, and it would be even more unfortunate to die.
Three hours are enough for Xu Lai's team, who have relaxed restrictions and have a super speed bonus, to be dozens of kilometers behind the people behind them.
However, it is easy to get rid of the pursuers behind him, but it is not easy for him to avoid those who enter the dungeon first.
I don’t know if Xu Lai ran too fast or if this place is too famous. In the past three hours, he has encountered three groups of adventurers along the way.
Fortunately, the number of these adventurers is not large, mostly three or five.
In addition to being frightened by Xu Lai, they did not dare to provoke such a cavalry unit that dared to gallop in the underground passage.
You know, the underground world is not peaceful, not to mention the natural traps everywhere.
Let’s just say that in such a dim to almost pitch black environment, any piece of gravel on the road may cause a galloping horse to become lame.
But for Xu Lai, who has dark vision and pathfinding skills, as long as he rushes ahead, there will be no problem at all.
Although the adventurers encountered along the way did not dare to provoke Xu Lai, there were always strange things and surprises.
Speeding all the way, Xu Lai did not encounter half a wild monster. Instead, he encountered two groups of people blocking his way.
The first person to stop Xu Lai was a fierce woman with shiny white skin.
This woman probably knows that the underground city is not a safe place, so she still wears leather armor.
However, this leather armor is close to the body, not only highlighting the figure completely, but not many parts can be protected.
Especially the upper body, which has given full play to her fierce advantage. None of the Internet celebrities on my mobile phone in the past half of my life showed as much as this girl.
"Little handsome boy, where are you going alone?"
Xu Lai looked around and couldn't help but smile: "I have so many people with me, don't you know how to count? ?”
Xu Lai was not very happy to be blocked by someone, even if it was a beautiful woman.
“Hey, I can tell at a glance that those are the subordinates you recruited and the generals you promoted.
Tsk tsk, but how come you have promoted so many men, handsome boy? You don’t like women, right? ”
Elvy was flying in the sky with Seraph. These people only looked at the ground, but did not notice the angel flying in the sky.
But it is normal, the underground city environment is dim , their magic lamps could only illuminate the surroundings.
As soon as he was stopped, Xu Lai knew that this woman must be a hero, otherwise she would have been turned around by someone else if she appeared underground like this. Tens of thousands of times.
And the natives of this world are probably not so rude.
"If you have something to say, just get out of the way."
The woman frowned, but still suppressed her anger and said:
"There is an underground town in front of us blocking the way. Handsome boy, are you still strong? Not bad, why don’t we team up and get through together?”
The town the woman mentioned was the second accident that blocked Xu Lai’s path.
“The town is not marked on the map.”
"Who says it isn't? We have been exploring this underground for nearly a month, but there is nothing around here. Everyone has been climbed first.
Finally, we wanted to go deeper, but we were blocked by a map. Are you angry that a non-existent underground town blocked the way?”
Although Xu Lai only traveled 4 or 5 hours.
But his speed along the way was at least ten times that of these people.
And he went straight to his goal, following the map without taking any detours.
Since these people came to the dungeon for adventure, they must have gone everywhere, so after exploring for nearly a month, Xu Lai still managed to catch up.
Since it is not on the map, it means that this underground town must have appeared not long ago.
Although Xu Lai has done a lot of things, he is actually very calculated. Heroes like them have only been here for less than a year. Didn't you notice that this woman spent nearly a month exploring this kind of underground city with almost no danger?
Facts have proved that if there is no luck and hard work, these six months will pass by in a flash.
"Whether you're angry or not, at least let me go and take a look first."
There is another place underground that is far inferior to the ground, that is, there is often only one road.
On the ground, you can find a way around most of the places where the road is blocked.
And underground, if a road is blocked by someone, there is a high probability that you will have to force your way through, such as Mingyue City.
The woman sneered. Xu Lai didn't seem to have as many people as she did, but at first glance they were all high-level knights, and their combat power was not low at first glance.
"Young handsome boy, you don't mind if I give you a lift, sister."
This means that he probably wants to go there with Xu Lai.
Xu Lai didn't like this woman very much, and he didn't want his purpose to be known to others, so he didn't even bother to ask her name and said simply:
"Sorry, we may be on different paths. "
After that, regardless of the woman's livid face, he clamped the horse's belly, and the majestic royal war horse rushed out in an instant.
Jian Yuan, Ji Long, Roland and others behind him will not stop either.
The woman was obviously not very willing and wanted to continue talking, but after receiving a fierce look from Roland, she did not dare to say anything anymore.
When she came back to her senses, all that was left to her was the smoke and dust on the ground.
The woman gritted her teeth, cursed bitterly, and ordered her men to pack their things immediately and follow Xu Lai's team.
If Xu Lai got into a fight with people in the dungeon, she would see if there was any chance of profiting from it.
After galloping for more than ten minutes, the underground passage suddenly became wider and wider.
Sure enough, not long after, a huge mushroom forest appeared in front of us.
This mushroom forest is extremely huge. Not only can the spores be harvested as fruits, but the mushrooms themselves can also be used as fuel or even wood resources.
The mushroom forest is marked on the map, and around the mushroom forest, a mining field and an underground river are also marked on the map.
However, this is the Northern Empire, not the grassland.
Ore resources, if you look for any mountain peak, there are almost inexhaustible ore resources.
So no one wants to develop things like ore, which is neither valuable nor particularly difficult to transport.
Especially the special underground environment, which makes mining far more difficult and costly than on the ground.
But when Xu Lai first looked at the map, he felt that this was a good place to build an underground city. There was enough food, necessary water resources, as well as wood, ore and other necessary materials for city construction.
This is a place that is often visited by human explorers. If we build a dungeon, we may not be able to be disturbed by them.
However, it was still quite far from the entrance, and it took Xu Lai most of the day to gallop all the way.
For an ordinary explorer, even if he doesn't delay for a moment on the way, it will take about a week at least to arrive.
The underground city mentioned by the woman is located between the mushroom forest and the mining field.
This place is extremely open. Even if there is a mushroom forest and a mining field, plus a dungeon that seems to be developing well, there should be a lot of space.
But probably because it is backed by a mining field and there is no shortage of ore, the lord of the underground city directly built more than a dozen guard towers.
These guard towers were erected in a row.
Except for the invisible units, no one can pass safely without alerting the guards.
Fortunately, this is just a town. If it had been upgraded to a fortress-level city, people would probably have to build a wall to completely seal this place off.
The familiar bell rang from someone else’s arrow tower.
The bonus of the guard tower is not as much as that of the arrow tower, but if there are top shooters inside, there is still a threat.
The top shooter among the dungeon forces is none other than Queen Medusa.
For ordinary Medusa, the petrification ability can only be effective in close combat, but Queen Medusa can directly emit petrification rays.
Considering that this town was most likely built by heroes descended from heaven, Xu Lai immediately stopped when the alarm bell rang.
Xu Lai originally wanted to give this hero some face and try to negotiate a deal.
He just wants to get to his destination smoothly and doesn't want to cause any trouble along the way.
However, maybe it was because I was too lucky before, or maybe it was too smooth to form the golden statue of the God of War before, so this time there are more twists and turns.
The less Xu Lai wants to cause trouble, the more trouble he can't escape.
"Humans, get out of my town!"
The voice came from nowhere. Even with Xu Lai's powerful eyesight, he could not clearly see the speaker.
The whole town was pitch black, except for a glimmer of light, and the visibility was no better than elsewhere.
Xu Lai frowned, forced a smile and said: "Friend, let's discuss it. I'm just passing by. If it's convenient, I can pay some tolls."
Hearing that there are tolls, the rough guy before The voice was silent for a long time.
"Haha, you have money, right? OK, I want one million gold coins for tolls. If you can afford it, you can pay it. If you can't afford it, get out!"
Xu Lai also fell silent. , this guy probably has never seen the world, and a lion can’t even open his mouth.
Not to mention one million gold coins, even ten million, Xu Lai could take it out on the spot.
Of course, everything comes back, and if he really wants to pay, it will be unless his head is squeezed by the door.
"Brother, where are you from? We are all fellow villagers. It's convenient for you!"
"It's convenient for you, uncle. If you have money, pay for it. If you don't have money, get out. I'm annoying you the most. These people who have no money still like to pretend."
Xu Lai was so angry that he wished he could take out a million gold coins and hit this guy on the head.
However, if he really did such a thing, the guy opposite would probably be able to laugh out of his dreams.
"What if I say no?"
If Xu Lai says no, there is really nothing the other side can do.
Xu Lai stopped too early. Although he was within the attack range of the guard tower, he was at the extreme range. Not only would the hit rate be greatly reduced, but the damage would only be half.
What's even more annoying is that once Xu Lai is attacked, he can retreat to a position where they can't attack at any time.
An attack of this level is enough to scare people. Trying to kill Xu Lai and the others is just nonsense.
But it happened that the person opposite him also had a bad temper, and he didn't know what kind of stimulation he had. His temper was much hotter than Xu Lai's.
After hearing what Xu Lai said, without saying a word, a row of arrows shot from the guard tower. (End of this chapter)
